hot take and unpopular opinion: I am so over disaster sci-fi. hopeless sci-fi. ivasion sci-fi. sci-fi where 'humanity got it wrong and now everyone suffers'Give me sci-fi that marvels at the nature of human ingenuity.
Give me sci-fi that portrays aliens/ai as complex people
This. #MSWL

Army researchers are developing a self-aware robot #squid you can 3D print in the field. Neat: bit.ly/2K38piC pic.twitter.com/3dLzelT5vuDefinitely #MSWL ...but this might be the first time I'm not sure whether it's on the list as SFF or nonfiction?

After finishing the @netflix reboot of @lostinspacetv, all I want is a good family drama... that just happens to be in space. #MSWL
Send me your accessible sci-fi, please!

In adult, I'm mainly looking for SFF & historical, especially the kind that's both gripping & intimate. I want a really deep dive into a character's (or community's) emotional journey. #mswl

I would love to see some really grounded sci-fi in my query inbox, the kind where you come to care deeply about the characters and their relationships. Basically, I want something that reminds me of watching Battlestar Galactica. #mswl

YESâgive me âBring It Onâ at wizard (or space) school! #mswlI want #SFF stories about socioeconomic disparities at academic institutions.
Public school zoning on Mars? Affirmative action at fantasy college? Exploitation of student athletes at interstellar universities? PLEASE. twitter.com/samsykesswearsâŚ
I love these ideas! #MSWL

On my fantasy/scifi #MSWL I often say I like stories to play with time. This doesn't necessarily mean time travel. My FAVORITE movie/short story is Arrival/Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang. The way time is used in that RUINED ME in the best way. Play with big concepts like time.

#MSWL: I would love a scifi YA where--and just hear me out here--someone takes a werewolf and puts it ON the moon, and also puts a vampire on the sun, and somehow this makes sense.

Breakfast Club, but they are at wizard school.Bring It On, but they are at wizard school.
Ferris Buellerâs Day Off, but heâs at wizard school.
Itâs just that easy to make a new genre of film, fellas.
YESâgive me âBring It Onâ at wizard (or space) school! #mswl

This song came out the year before I was born, and I'm disappointed none of it has come true yet. But at least I can #mswl it? Send me some of that optimistic, aspirational sci-fi and fantasy please. Don't let Susan down! youtu.be/46FOlF5bZPQ

Most of all, MOST OF ALL, if you're worried your character is not the usual star of a sci-fi fantasy because of elements of diversity (color, religion, LGBTQ+, neurodiversity, disability) QUERY ME PLZ plz plz plz plz! #MSWL
Naomi Davis The Caffeinated @NaomisLitPix · 9 Apr 2018
And if you're feeling sorta "This character isn't typically the focus in sci-fi/fantasy (the King's chef; the ship Captain's errand boy), so it might not grab any attention..." QUERY ME PLZ #MSWL
Naomi Davis The Caffeinated @NaomisLitPix · 9 Apr 2018
And if you're like "I'm not 100% sure this sci-fi/fantasy works for the genre because it's more about the sibling/BFF relationship as they navigate the speculative world..." QUERY ME PLZ #MSWL
Naomi Davis The Caffeinated @NaomisLitPix · 9 Apr 2018
And if you're like "I've heard sex sells but really that didn't fit with my sci fi so I left it out, and the relationships are totally different than usual pairings in sci-fi or fantasy, so I'm not sure..." QUERY ME PLZ #MSWL
Naomi Davis The Caffeinated @NaomisLitPix · 9 Apr 2018
And if you're like "My sci fi is also maybe a little fantasy, bcuz it has weird fantasy creatures and relationships but is dependent on a structure of advanced science, so I dunno..." QUERY ME PLZ #MSWL
Naomi Davis The Caffeinated @NaomisLitPix · 9 Apr 2018
So if you're like "Well, I don't really have time travel in my book, but I make my characters question whether time exists at all as their relationships explode in fiery cataclysmic ways..." QUERY ME PLZ #MSWL
